Phil Garner Learned Quotations

I learned that there are some who can play when the game is on the line and some who can't.

It's not a God-given talent. There's some hitters that have an opposite-field stroke that can do it, but it's a learned skill. It's just discipline and doing it. That's all it is. Plain and simple.

The young kids haven't learned how to do it. They pitched around several of our veterans (last year) to get to the young kids. According to my statistical analysis, we were ranked at the bottom of the league in most all offensive categories.

I came to a couple of the games, watched him pitch and he pitched great. I took over (as manager) and he pitched great. I learned that whatever it is he wants to do, he's going to do it.
